Husband is a functional alcoholic. tried to cut down. now has 1 eye that droops a lot but won't see dr. should i encourage him.

Al-anon: I have never heard of an alcoholic responding to the nagging of their spouse. You can frankly tell him what you see and how you feel. Perhaps the program of al-anon may be of some benefit for your personal survival.
